We always compare like semesters (otherwise, for example, it&#39;d always look like we had dropped half our enrollment each summer, since summer is much smaller than spring or fall). Yes, the economy surely is playing a role--that&#39;s why I&#39;m wondering what types of students we are seeing in our summer classes (that is, is the economy just sending us more of the same type of student, or new types of students altogether?).Jennifer Lernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17891353010609386656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874624919748912764.post-75123251896192860942009-06-14T17:53:17.580-04:002009-06-14T17:53:17.580-04:00is this 14% compared with last summer or with any previous semester? <br />At any rate, I wonder how much the economy is to account for this.
